Gingerbread AT-AT

This gingerbread AT-AT Walker is on display at Orange County's Discovery Science Museum. It's the creation of Black Market Bakery, and a fine addition to the AT-AT remixes we've featured over the years.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Nice. I’ve never thought an AT-AT looked particularly delicious until now…

Also nice to see the AT-AT with the cone of shame in the Boing Boing store article from a recent days was changed to link to the original design by Go Ape.

I showed my 6 and 9 year old kids and now they will bug mommy until she helps them make one of these. She is a pastry chef, so I am naturally saved from doing any of the hard work. I’ll mostly just get to admire and eat it.

  People actually eat gingerbread houses?
  
  Usually around Easter and after drinking a great deal of alcohol.

  I think perhaps infrequently, but if my wife makes one of these, it will be lucky to make it through the photo shoot. :-D

Not as cool as the gingerbread TARDIS I made last year.

I want to split it open and crawl inside…

In case anyone’s wondering, the Discovery Science Museum is very much a typical watered-down kid-oriented science museum, but it wouldn’t be a bad place to take the kids. There are some very cool interactive things there. But if you’re used to bigger science museums, like the Ontario Science Center in Toronto I went to frequently as a kid, you (and your kids) will be sorely disappointed.
